促进性建言和抑制性建言对建言者和团队绩效的影响—一个对比的视角

本项目将考察两种不同的建言（促进性和抑制性）对个体和工作团队的影响。促进性和抑制性建言在内容上的区分可能导致对员工和团队过程截然不同的影响，而以往研究大多对二者不加区分，这可能混淆二者的不同效应，表现为文献中不一致甚至冲突的发现。而且，建言转换成组织绩效的过程应当发生在更高的团队层次，但有限的研究妨碍了对这一过程的理解。我们将在个体和团队层次上分别检验促进性/抑制性建言对建言者和团队绩效的影响，以及领导的认知、情感和权力起到的作用。在个体层次，检验促进性/抑制性建言通过影响领导对建言者的喜欢的程度，进而对其绩效评价产生相反的影响；以及领导对建言动机的亲社会归因对促进性/抑制性建言—领导喜欢这一关系的调节作用。在团队层次，检验促进性和抑制性建言通过分别影响团队效能感和关系冲突对团队绩效产生相对立的效应，以及领导的权力对这两个关系的积极调节作用。本项目拟对建言研究提供新理论视角并启发管理实践。

This project is to investigate the contrasting effects of promotive and prohibitive voice on individual and team performance, and the mechanisms involved in. Despite of the distinctive contents of promotive and prohibitive voice, most studies have not differentiated between them, thus making the findings regarding the effects of voice difficult to explain. Our research intends to help reconcile the inconsistent and even conflicting findings in the past studies by investigating the differential effect of promotive and prohibitive voice. Moreover, most studies focus on the individual consequences of employee voice. The implementation of voice, however, occurs at higher levels like teams. The paucity of research, however, limits our understanding on the impact of employee voice on organizational performance. To address those inadequacies, we are to examine the differential effects of promotive and prohibitive voice on voicer’s and team performance, as well as the roles of supervisor’s affect, cognition and power play in the process. At the individual level, we examine how promotive/ prohibitive voice triggers supervisory differential liking for the voicer, and which in turn results in contrasting effect on his/her performance rating. Also, we examine how supervisor’s prosocial attribution of voice interacts with promotive/ prohibitive voice to influence supervisory liking for the voicer. At the team level, we examine how promotive/ prohibitive voice influences team performance through team potency and relationship conflict, respectively, and the moderating effect of supervisory power on the relationship between promotive voice-team potency as well as prohibitive voice-relationship conflict. We expect important theoretical and practical implications of this project.
